Well, chapter 15 is here! Everyone rejoice!!!! *listens for sounds of
rejoicing* Mmm, oh well..I guess I'll hear it later. Anyway, read, enjoy,
and review! And I will love you forever and ever and ever and ever and
ever...I'll stop now.
I don't own Sailor Moon or Charmed. If I did I could buy all my Christmas gifts and wouldn't have to worry about cost. *stares off into space thinking about having bunches of money* How nice would that be?!
******************
*"Tell me what you know, witch!"
"I don't know anything!"
"Liar!" A swift kick to the stomach caused her to gasp in pain. "You know more than you say you do!"
She kept silent. She didn't want to be kicked again.
"Say something!!!!"
She just closed her eyes. She wanted to be with her sisters and Leo again. She didn't want to be with this demon. He was hurting her.
"Fine," he muttered, kicking her one more time. "You'll talk sooner or later."
After the door closed and she was bathed in darkness once more, she cried. The tears left wet trails down her dirty cheeks. All she could think of was her sisters and how sad they would be when she died.
"Oh, Prue," she whispered as she curled up into a ball. "I need you so bad."*
*******************
"Piper!"
She gripped the sheets closer to her. But the voice continued.
"Piper, honey. You need to wake up."
She shook her head and sniffed. "Don't make me."
"But you have to. You've been screaming all night."
Piper opened her eyes to see her youngest sister sitting beside her on the bed. "I was?"
Paige nodded and took Piper's hand. "Nightmares?"
Piper looked away from her sister's eyes and shrugged as she pulled her hand out of Paige's.
Paige sighed and frowned. "Piper," she began.
"No," Piper said simply. "No."
**************
Usagi sat up with a gasp. Glancing at the clock she sighed. It was 5:30 in the morning and she didn't have to be up. Classes were out for the week and she didn't have to work.
But she couldn't go back to sleep. She had that dream again; the one with the senshi fighting. And it hurt her heart, literally. She had to see them. She had wanted to see them the night before but the Halliwells and Mamo- chan reassured her that everything was going to be okay for the night.
She quietly got out of bed so she didn't wake Mamoru. Grabbing her communicator and slipping on some jeans and one of Mamoru's old high school shirts she ran out the door; locking it behind her.
She pressed the all call on the communicator and yelled into it "The park; now!"
*****************
Paige watched as Piper just stared at the TV in the guest room she was in. Earlier, at around 3 am, Leo had been called up by the Elders and had asked Paige to stay with Piper. At 5 Paige woke Piper up from a nightmare because she had started to cry again. And she hated it. Watching Piper cry was terrible and it tore her up inside when she couldn't do anything to help.
A beeping from the bedside table on the side Paige was on caused the red head to glance over. It was the wrist communicator the senshi had given them. Paige leaned over, glancing at Piper. Her older sister hadn't moved from her slouched position on the headboard of the bed. Her face was blank and the only signs of distress were the dried trail of tears on her cheeks.
Paige grabbed the communicator and opened it only to hear Usagi's voice; "The park; now!"
Now, Paige knew that was meant for the senshi. She could just tell from Usagi's voice that she needed to talk to her senshi. But Paige could also tell the Usagi was worried about something. So, it was then that the youngest Halliwell sister decided to go.
She got up and started to the door to wake up Phoebe but stopped when Piper called her name.
"Where you going, Paige?"
"I'm going to get Phoebe, honey. I need to go see Usagi."
"Will you come back?"
"Yes, Piper."
"Promise?"
Paige blinked. Her sister sounded like a child. And that scared her.
"I promise," Paige said softly, climbing back into the bed with Piper. "I'll be back in a few minutes. And Phoebe will be in here with you, okay?"
Piper frowned. "Why are you leaving me?"
Paige hugged her big sister. "I have to talk to Usagi. But I'll be back."
"But-"
"Come with me to get Phoebe," Paige said, grabbing Piper's hand and pulling her out of the bed.
Piper just followed her silently down the hall of Motoki's house. Paige quietly opened the door to the room she and Phoebe were sleeping in.
Five minutes later, Paige orbed out of the house after she finally got Piper settled in with Phoebe. Piper didn't want Paige to leave but when Paige promised again that she would be back, Piper finally let go of her arm. And with one last apologetic look to Phoebe, Paige left, hoping that everything was okay with Usagi and the senshi.
****************
Usagi leaned against a tree in the park as she waited for the others to arrive. She knew she had made them get out of bed but she needed to see what was going on. And she had a terrible feeling that it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Where's the youma?"
Usagi looked beside her to see Rei standing there in her Senshi uniform.
"There is no youma."
The raven-haired priestess blew up at the moon princess. "WHAT!?!? You got me out of bed this early in the morning and there isn't even a youma?!"
Usagi nodded and looked past Rei to see Minako running toward them. But the blonde stopped when she saw Rei.
"Hello, Usagi," Minako said stiffly. "Why did you call us here so early?"
"To talk to all of you," Usagi answered back. She could see the tension between the two just by standing there in front of them.
The three of them stood there in uncomfortable silence until Ami showed up with Makoto not far behind.
"What is the emergency, Hime?" Ami asked, not looking at the senshi of Jupiter.
Usagi sighed. "I can feel the anger between you," she said softly. "We have to work all this out."
"Work what out, Odango?!" Rei shouted. "This is none of your concern!"
"Don't yell at her, Rei!" Minako shouted, taking a step closer to the fiery scout.
"Don't yell at me!" Rei yelled back.
"Hush, you two," Ami said but Makoto started yelling at her and soon all four inner scouts were yelling at each other at the top of their lungs.
Usagi watched all this with teary eyes. It was true. The anger they all felt toward each other was terrible. And it was hitting her with an amazing force. She stumbled back against the tree and watched her best friends and scouts fight.
Then someone put their arm around her. Usagi looked over and blinked. "Paige?"
"Hey, Usagi-chan. Didn't work out like you thought, huh?"
"Iie," Usagi said. She sniffed and looked back at her friends. "I thought it was all in my head; that maybe I was just imagining it. But I wasn't. It's true. My senshi are fighting amongst themselves." She turned back to Paige. "Would you mind orbing me to the outers' house? I need to make sure they aren't the same way."
"No problem, Usagi-hime." Paige orbed them out, leaving the arguing senshi behind.
*******************
Haruka almost dropped the coffee cup that was in her hands when the blue and white lights appeared in front of her. "What the hell?!" she yelled as Usagi and one of those women from before formed out of them.
"Haruka!" Usagi said, throwing herself into the wind scout's arms.
"Neko-chan?" Haruka asked with raised eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
Usagi just continued to cry so Haruka looked up at the other woman.
"The inner scouts are fighting," Paige said. "And it's tearing her up inside."
Haruka nodded. "I see."
Paige bit her lip. "I've got to get back to my sister," she said softly. "Is it alright if she stays here?"
"It's fine," Haruka said, patting Usagi on the back. "I'll call Mamoru."
Paige nodded and orbed out, giving Haruka a thankful smile.
"Now, Hime," Haruka said leading Usagi into the den and sitting her down on the sofa. "Tell me what's wrong and why you came here."
Usagi sniffed and wiped her eyes. "They're fighting, Haruka. They're saying terrible things to each other. I got scared. I could feel their anger inside of me. My heart was breaking. It hurts so much. And I suddenly thought about the four of you. What if you were acting the same way? I wouldn't be able to stand it!"
Haruka pulled Usagi back in her arms when the princess started crying again. "Everything's fine here. I promise."
"Haruka?!" Michiru's voice came from their bedroom. "Where are you?"
"In the den," Haruka answered, not pulling away from Usagi as the blonde continued to cry.
Michiru appeared in the doorway. "What's going on?" she asked with her eyes full of worry.
"It's the inners," Setsuna said as she walked into the den from the kitchen.
"How did you-" Haruka started but then she stopped. "Never mind. You already knew, didn't you?"
Setsuna nodded and sat on the other side of Usagi. "Do you want some tea, Hime?"
"Iie, I'm fine Setsuna. Arigatou."
"Anything for you, Usagi-chan."
Usagi gave a shadow of a smile then sat up. "Gomen," she said softly.
"For what?" Michiru asked as she sat down next to her lover.
"For suddenly appearing here like that."
"Hey, it makes us feel good, Moon-face," Haruka said. "You came to us!"
Usagi smiled but then frowned. "I just didn't know what to do."
Setsuna sat back and looked at the far wall. "The inners have a spell on them from that demon we fought earlier."
"But didn't you guys get hit with it as well?"
"Hai," Setsuna continued. "But we always put duty first. It didn't affect our emotions because we work so hard to keep them under control. The inners are like you, Hime. They will stop a fight to save a life. We don't. We believe that the fight should continue. It's not that we are unfeeling. We just bury our emotions deep within us."
"Demo," Usagi muttered. "How do we help them?"
"I don't know," Setsuna said, looking at the princess. "I haven't figured that out yet."
